If you’ve been thinking about going to Cuba, now is the time to book that trip. In fact, we know many of you are clamoring to get to this hot spot because it’s the No.1 destination for WendyPerrin.com readers—the place travelers most often reach out to Wendy for help with.

It’s hard to plan a reliable trip there. There are strict rules about the type of tour you can take, and hotels are sold out for most of 2016 (not to mention the top luxury hotels, which are booked through 2017). And if you wanted to go over this Christmas, fat chance—that is, until today. We just got word that there is availability on a four-night trip this December 20–25, with one of the Cuba travel planners Wendy is testing for her WOW List of Trusted Travel Experts. This is a miracle.

Why? Because Cuba’s burgeoning tourism industry for U.S. travelers isn’t only short on accommodations, it’s also short on tour operators who know what they’re doing and have the insider access that counts. One of several Cuba travel planners Wendy is testing for possible inclusion on The WOW List, David Lee of Cultural Cuba, contacted us about the few openings he still has on this upcoming Christmas trip, and we want to pass the opportunity along to you.

This is a small-group, four-night, all-inclusive trip based in Havana. It includes round-trip airfare from Miami to Havana, accommodations at the Hotel Melia Cohiba, a fully guided itinerary, activities, meals, etc.—for $4,625 per person. That may seem expensive but, given the extraordinary quality of the guiding and special access that are David’s forte, and given that it’s Cuba (which is more expensive than most people realize for a high-caliber experience) at the most peak time of year, it’s value for your dollar. The offer is available until December 9.
